Best Old-School Rap Promoter/Manager New York 2005 - RUZA BLUE

As the '80s began, Kool Lady Blue brought hip-hop (still in its infancy) downtown with her Wheels of Steel nights at the Roxy and Negril, helping to launch Madonna, Run-DMC, and the Beastie Boys beyond the five boroughs. Nowadays, RUZA BLUE hasn't forgotten her rootswith her DJ agency, she manages Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa, keeping them gigging across America and the world.
